Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

The recent Labor Day weekend proved very busy for us with all of our family coming and going. I knew I needed to have some snacks on hand, preferably for the little ones. This is my banana bread recipe reworked for individual servings that turned out to be the perfect thing! The little guys love muffins and when you put chocolate chips in them, they think it's a real treat! These are great to go along with breakfast or to toss in a lunch or for a quick snack on the go! Yummy!
